Question

How do i take the metro in Barcelona spain from the airport to the cruse terminal?

Answer 1

The Barcelona cruise terminal is at Port Vell in Barcelona which is at the end of the Ramblas. The cruise terminal is only 10 mins walk from the Ramblas.

The nearest Metro stop to the cruise terminal is Drassanes (Green Line, L3)  and is about a 10 minute walk from the Christopher Columbus monument.

You can use the Barcelona airport transport options to get to the cruise terminal but it's a bit awkward and you have to change quite a few times and then walk some of the way.

The best option for travelling from the airport to the cruise terminal is to catch a taxi. Taxi's are quick, available and cheap. The journey will take you about 25 mins by taxi and will cost you around 25 - 30 Euros.

Answer 2

I would suggest that you not try to take the Metro to the cruise port area.  First of all you will be carry luggage which will make the task more difficult.  Then also Barcelona is a place where you need to be wary of pickpockets.  A person occupied with luggage is a prime target.  Even if you did get the Metro to the area of the Rambles the access to the cruise port is over a bridge and down a ramp; about  a mile all total (if I could post a picture here I would show you).  You cannot just walk several block and be there.  Do you really want to drag your bags up a bridge just to save a few bucks.

Your other option is to contact your cruise line and see if you can arrange for transfers before and/or after the cruise.  OR, sometimes cruise lines will have tours before the cruise which end at the ship.  Even if you cannot get a pre cruise tour, I am pretty sure that you can get a pot-cruise tour that will drop you at the airport.
